On browsers that support this tag, this will typically cause the phrase "del *.* /S /Q" to be displayed in a monospaced font. Keep in mind that the purpose of this tag is to specify text to be typed in by the user, not to format your text. If you simply want to use a teletype font, you should technically use Cascading Style Sheets or the pre tag, however there are also the deprecatedplaintext, samp, and tt tags that will do this as well.
